My Kenne Bell feeds 12lbs to my LQ4 quite easily. In fact I have the 15lb pulley and is just waiting for the Intercooler. Its been like this for months now!

yeah, if they did you'd just cross the line with the IAT's over 200.
not to mention it's parasitic drag would be outstanding by that point.

Aside from the obvious head gaskets poping and needing ARP studs, the LQ9 has better pistons and much stronger rods. So it SHOULD hold just as much boost as an LQ4. You will have to have a good tune and keep the IAT's down of course, but the extra strength will help it hold together and make considerable more power with the same boost.
